Retainers?????
my dog just recently yes ATE my retainers the top ones.
and he messed aroudn the with bottom ones wich CAN fit in my mouth but feel a bit awkward now.
i went to the orthodontist today to get impressions done for my top.
and asked about the bottom retainer and they said the doctors with an other patient in will readjust it next time you come in to pick up your new top retainers wich i thought was a little wierd.
but i guess what im trying to say is m retainers do fit still. but jsut feel a bit off. or strange.
thiers not cracks or anything. can the doctor bend it back to fit better?
and should i continue to wear it untill i see him in 2 weeks to get my new retainers?

If they feel a bit weird, then the retainer is "off", so I would not wear them until the dentist "refits" it for you. If you wear them, it could throw off your bit. I'd just wait for safe sake.

If your retainer feels "off" than it does need to be adjusted (probably the wire needs to be bent).
How long ago did your braces come off? If it was recent (less than 9 months ago), you probably shouldn't wait 2 weeks before getting things fixed. If it has been a year or more, you could probably wait.
You probably shouldn't wear your bottom retainer if it feels wrong. It could throw off your bite.
If you are still concerned, call your orthodontist's office and discuss this with them.
